THS allocates its income across three areas within its budget. These are; Primary Health Care (PHC) programs, Aged & Disabled (A&D) Persons programs, and Operations and Management (O&M).   

It is important to recognise that O&M is not the same thing as admininstration.   O&M includes what is normally considered to be ‘administration expenses’ such as admin and management salaries, Board expenses, insurance, etc.  Most importantly however O&M also includes most of the operational expenses incurred by PHC and A&D.  These expenses cover such things as vehicle operations, staff travel, power and water, repairs and maintenance, and provisions.   It is for this reason that some 45% of THS’s income is spent on O&M.  

PHC and A&D budgets are largely composed of salaries. However small amounts of program specific expenditure (eg pharmaceuticals for PHC and food for A&D) are also included.

As a general principle THS takes the same percentage of funds from each source of income and puts it towards O&M. There are a few minor exceptions which relate to the precise nature of funding calculations and purposes.    

At the start of 2009/10 THS budgeted for the receipt of $2,514,580 of recurrent funding in 2009/2010 as follows:
